0.29: Stephanie took the kids to the pumpkin patch and luckily I packed their rain boys because it was NOTHING but MUD there! and basically we are prepping for Connie?s Halloween party tomorrow! I also stopped and got dinner at the little taco stand on the way home AWESOME!!!!! 10.30: So we are prepped and ready to go to Connie?s Halloween party! Sam is spending the weekend at Katie?s so Ben, Mom, Abby and Peyton are going to the party! We made it and Ben got bored REAL fast, so we ended up only staying about an hour and a half. Abby had a blast hanging and dancing with Connie and all Peyton did was run and run and run! 10.31: HAPPY HALLOWEEN! The kids were ready and set to go before 6 pm! So when the 1st trick or treaters showed up at our house, we headed out... once Peyton got the hang of it he said Trick or Treat? and then said, as he was walking away ?Happy Halloween GUYS!?...it was hilarious! We went all around our block and then once we made it back home, we decided to head out in the van and go across the complex! There were kids everywhere! Peyton made it to about 3 houses and he was DONE! But Abby and Ben kept on trucking! The Ben pooped out and Abby did about 10-15 houses by herself! She outlasted them all! After we got home, Peyton lasted about 30-45 mins and he was toast! Slept for 12 hours straight! 11.01: They went to Stephanie?s with tattoos and all! I pad $500 and got 4 new tires on the van....OUCH...brakes next! When I went to pick the kids up Stephanie said Peyton tried to go to sleep all day long! I guess Halloween wore him out! Abby came home and cleaned and organized her room! She is sooo proud of herself and I think she may have rubbed off on Sam because Sam is cleaning her room too! Peyton also decided he wanted to put his puzzle together and did it all by himself! 11.02: Well Toy Story 3 came out today and I went to the NEX and picked it up! Little did I know I only picked up the Blu Ray and extra disc, so I had to go BACK and return it BEFORE we picked Abby & Peyton up or they wouldn?t have been able to watch it in the van on the way home and I would have been MAD!!!!!! Sam talked to her school counselor today and she recommended that Sam go to Skagit next year and take some of her pre-reqs and gave Sam a list of schools that will take transfer credits from Skagit. I think since she can use my GI bill and she is not sure what she wants to do, that a community college for a year or two is not a bad idea~but Matt and I differ on this, so we will have to see what Sam wants...11.03: Ben had a bad day at school and got another yellow slip....he has gotten to straighten up....and we watched Toy Story 3 all the way home again today! 11.04: So guess what happened to Ben again today....another yellow slip for not doing his work and paying attention. I even got an email from his teacher...he just so happens to be asleep upstairs on his floor. SO I don?t know if he needs to start going to bed earlier or what...but he has got to get it together....I don?t even know what to do!
